Created to take advantage of all the detail capabilities of the FS2004 terrain engine, this product will take your terrain mesh detail to new heights in areas and regions traditionally neglected by most developers.

Description

Featuring 19.2m resolution for the entire country, border to border, with a 0.1 degree border buffer (default resolution is 612m), FSGenesis ASTERMesh will bring familiar simulated detail to all those spectacular topographical features known by the native people. Get ready to go anywhere in the country, right on your desktop. Simply add to cart, checkout, download, install, and you''ll soon be on your way to new adventures through spectacular terrain!

This terrain was compiled from The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) V2. One caveat of this terrain dataset is the presence of artifacts and "outliers" that require manual repair, which FSGenesis has done. Though as with any human intervention, there may be the occasional cosmetic issue not discovered in testing. That said, most, if not all "show-stoppers" have been addressed.

Technically, this product has been derived from the 30m ASTER GDEM V2 and corrected in-house where anomalies were found. The product was then compiled into LOD11 (19.1m) and LOD10 (38.2m) BGL files. You can enhance your FS experience even further by combining this product with the FSGenesis Global Coverage products and the FSGenesis Continental products for the regions covered by these files.

What is Terrain Mesh?

The world is not flat…it comprises mountains, valleys, rolling plains, etc. I.E. topographical features. These bumps, dips, and flat areas all need to be translated into a surface understood by your flight simulator. Terrain Mesh is the name given to the Digital Elevation Model, (DEM), that represents these topographical features. This is the surface of the earth over which the user flies in the simulator (or crashes into!) For more than a decade, FSGenesis has been the leader in highly realistic, high resolution terrain mesh for flight simulator. So to make your simulator world and scenery as realistic as possible, you need terrain mesh!
